I have the following output via ps aux | grep node:

karlm 17551 1.4 0.7 1000592 93604 pts/2 Sl 09:54 0:01 node -r babel-register -r babel-polyfill src/index.js --config=c.json

I try to kill this with killall node.

It doesn't kill the process though?

The default signal sent by killall is SIGTERM

The following command uses SIGKILL which sometimes is needed in order to kill a process:

killall -s KILL node

More info killall man

killall sends a signal to all processes running any of the specified commands. If no signal name is specified, SIGTERM is sent.

Options:
-s, --signal
Send this signal instead of SIGTERM.
